OSIsoft & Esri Partner to Deliver Unified Solution for U.S. Federal Government Organizations

SAN LEANDRO, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

OSIsoft and Esri today announced an agreement that will allow U.S.
federal government customers to purchase the PI System and ArcGIS
products via a single GSA (News - Alert) IT 70 Schedule contract transaction. Orders
should be placed through immixGroup.

The combination of Esri and OSIsoft technologies will enable federal
organizations to utilize the industry standards for real-time
sensor-based data and geospatial data. Licenses for both OSIsoft and
Esri products are now available at a pre-approved price and without the
need for additional RFPs and sole source justifications.

The OSIsoft PI System collects, manages, analyzes and shares
sensor-based data from a large array of over 450 sources using industry
standard protocols. Integrating the PI System from OSIsoft with ArcGIS
from Esri allows real-time operational data to be combined with
geographic data seamlessly providing real-time operational intelligence
with geospatial context.

"Framing real-time data in a geospatial context enables better insights
and faster decisions to deliver operational excellence," said Martin
Otterson, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Industry, at
OSIsoft. "This agreement will allow government customers to more easily
purchase and integrate the two products. It will help them procure and
deploy their software more quickly enabling faster identification and
reduction of operating costs just like our private sector customers."

"Esri and OSIsoft have been working very closely to integrate real-time
operational data with Esri's ArcGIS mapping platform," said Jeff Peters,
Director - Global National Government Sales at Esri. "Binging the power
of space and time into one system is fundamental. We are excited by the
additional opportunities this agreement brings to our government
customers."

"We have maintained the OSIsoft PI System on the GSA IT 70 Schedule
contract for years," said Steve Charles, Co-founder and Executive Vice
President at immixGroup. "This new agreement makes it very easy for
government customers to explore the value of combining real-time
operational data with the most widely used mapping tool in the US
Government."
